#tiama

i have a custom dice roller up so i’m going to do Small dumps for 5 different characters based on my d70 let’s get this party STARTED.

53, 56, 38, 57, and 37 jfdklsaj damn this dice roller really wants me to talk about Tiama fjdasl.  It’s been trying this since the start but I’ve never been in the mood to talk about them lmfao.  But I’m Into It This Time.

53 - Kahnahal: Kahn is a Fucking Wild little shit of a trooper.  Like.  Holy shit.  He belongs to my doomed timeline and he’s so wild.  Dude’s got the most obnoxious luck in the galaxy, and it’s like someone taking a Pass/Fail option for either a 8 Bajillion point gpa or a ‘get suspended, expelled, and then Murdered’.  On a D20, he either gets a 1 or a 20.  There is no in between, only crit success and crit fails.  Like, bro wears sith armor with the republic insignia badly spray painted onto a the pauldrons and One Leg.  It should not work to get him behind enemy lines.  He is a TROOPER, he has a GUN.  But it DOES work.  But on the flipside he’s missing one of his lekku because he fuckin blasted it off on a crit fail day.  Just another on my list of togs that are Fucking Disasters tbh fjdklsa.

56- Tiama:  OKIEDOKE, another one for the Doomed Timeline fjdla.  Tiama’s what happened when I went ‘I need a character with all the chaotic and falling-apart energy of Brian David Gilbert and I need that Now’ and then I made them Rhaeyk’s roommate.  So Tiama exists now fjla. They’re my only Zeltron, and they’re like, remarkably chill for how much Chaos they have crammed into them fjdkal.  Although they have the Delightful dialogue between them and Rhaeyk that is:

"If you burn down the apartment again I'm making you move in with my mother!  Don't think I won't!" 

"You wouldn't." 

"You're on thin ice, soldier.  I don't want to replace my equipment again."

 "Ama." 

 "Don't test me, Rhaeyk.  I don't have your government paycheck." 

38 - Kisuran: KISU, OH POOR DISASTEROUS KISU.  He’s part of a mini-continuity that’s full of Chaotic Nonsense and also A Terrible Jedi. Kisu’s my sith pureblood smuggler lol, and he is Extra As Fuck (lmfao if that phrasing is even remotely relevant anymore.  i haven’t seen it in a while but i’m gonna keep using it anyways).  His boyfriend is that timeline’s trooper, bc i was like ‘haha what if,,, sith pureblood smuggler,,, and chiss trooper,,, o3o’ and now we have Kisu and Corin lol.  Kisu’s a clumsy garbagefire tho, I love him.  He Cannot be trusted with anything fragile he Will yeet it out the window at maximum speed by tripping over his own feet.

57 - Lord Halicos: SPEAK OF THE FUCKIN BITCH AND HE SHALL APPEAR.  Fuckin talked about him in the babbling about Miakar and Here The Bitch Is.  This is Miakar’s dad.  This, this absolute fuckwad, is one of my most horrible characters.  He’s entirely a background character but he’s Important and fckn, this is the man that Miakar decided to replace with Quinn as far as ‘this is my dad’ things go.  Halicos is the only person Miakar’s afraid of.  And he’s terrified of him.  Halicos Get Stabbed Challenge 2k21.  Deserves to be stabbed for causing Fear in the chaos baby and for winning the Terrible Parent Award.  Koriatta also was originally apprenticed to Halicos, before Zal went ‘yeah, I’m your dad now.  Fuck this guy’ and basically stole her.  Because Halicos is terrible.  Old man needs to get Rekt.  Gonna get every kid he picks up Yoinked because he doesn’t deserve to be in charge of kids.

-which oc has had the most major redesign?

Right now definitely Corela. She didn't even have proper dragon wings when I first designed her, and how her base form does. Beyond that, in my main rp with her she's currently going through a fairly major redesign. The canonical reason is she's finally getting exposure to the sun which is the dragon's main source of magic in this world (and shes half dragon).

The irl reason was just that I felt her design was a bit... Jumbled. Different colored wings and tail, and she doesn't have any other dragon features when she's in her base form. While this worked for her at the start (as she was a fucked up science experiment as a result of merging souls), as she's come into herself and become more comfortable with her identity, that piecemeal design doesn't work for her.

Eventually her base form will have scale patches all over, her eyes will shift to having slit pupils constantly, and her teeth will get a lil sharper. She'll also be a bit taller and have freckles, but that's more to do with being healthier.

Her other forms will be more drastic, eventually I want her full draconic form to have iridescent white as a base color that fades into blue and red at her extremities, but we haven't gotten to that part yet.

Eventually I plan to fully redesign Tiama. I want to lean into the idea of her identity being formed by those she interacted with, which is why so far the normal shape she takes is fairly human and exclusively female (all of her friends are female, and the two she sees most often are very close to human)

Hfgdg unfortunately you chose the wrong character, so I'll give info on a second one as well

Tiama would likely be kidnapped by a local trying to study rumors and legends. She has a strong protective streak, and has nearly drowned several people who got too close to her grove. And that's not even mentioning the dozens that she's made wander the endless tunnels of Waterfall, using her illusions to keep them trapped just long enough for them to lose hope.

As for why she's a bad choice for this question? She's stuck in her grove. Because her tree is there, she can't wander very far. She's a bit like a dryad! She absorbed so much magic over time she just became something more than just a tree. Also, she can teleport. It's one way, and it's just returning her to her tree, but she can do it. She's closer to a ghost than anything solid, it'd be a bit tricky to kidnap her.

I'll answer this question for another oc, though! If Sayala was taken against her will it would likely be by the local police force. She had a bad experience with them when she was young, with two of them killing her younger siblings and their friend, so she's been hunting them ever since. She's killed the two cops involved, but holds a grudge against the entire organization, and authority in general.

Corela

Defensive: Corela is kinda shit defensively. Her magic stamina is low, and in cold environments her defense is weakened drastically cause her body is using most of that energy trying to keep her alive. However in dragon form she does have tough scales, and in either form heat accelerates her healing. She often takes lava baths in dragon form when injured.

Offensive: fire magic and energy blades (think like undynes spears). Her blades are curved like a sickle but because they're pure magic every part of them hurts. They tend to be purple but they lighten as she runs out of magic. She can't generate fire while humanoid cause her throat isnt resistant, so she generally carries some firestarter materials with her, including a lighter. When she does breath fire, her fire breath is the same purple color, cause it's fueled by magic. Her magic is very strong but that's because her body doesn't have a very controlled output, so it's all or nothing

When exposed to extreme cold for long periods of time, her wings and eventually her tail will dust themselves, as they require small amounts of magic to exist. In other environments the magic is negligible compared to the natural recovery, but in the cold her body is essentially in emergency mode.

Others: can transform between a human form with wings and a tail, and a full European dragon form. She has a halfway point she can hold, but she has to focus hard and most of her training is focused around her trying to hold that form during physical activities. Useful for needing external fire res in small spaces, or needing claws to climb, but outside of that it's not great. In the halfway form her legs turn digitigrade, and her tail extends for balance. She tends to lean forward somewhat in this form.

Edit: she has figured out how to hold this form without strain. but it doesn't have scales as strong as her full dragon form.

Jesus I have a lot of info on her. Next character!

She can regrow these limbs. The tail takes a long time but regrows relatively cleanly, just with the pains of growth spurts. Her wings, on the other hand, regrow under her skin, and will burst out once halfway grown. This is incredibly painful, and she needs someone else with fire in order to heal the wounds quickly. Theoretically she could force the healing process by transforming fully, however the magic cost of transforming and regrowing three limbs would kill her at her current state.

Edit: Exposure to the sun has given her a boost in power and allows her to spark fire magic midair, letting her use it freely. Still struggles with output and emotional control. As a fire dragon her draconic half draws power from the sun.

Tools: Corela is an engineer and scientist at heart and has developed a staff she can use to channel her magic better, and she has found a way to turn her magic into a powder, allowing her to store more outside of her internal magic reserves. (Think like a drink mix. I'm not joking dhdhd).

Edit: her staff can also channel her fire magic through it, giving her a safe output.

Tiama

Offensive: she has powerful plant magic and illusion magic, as well as the ability to shapeshift into any animal, though without her illusion powers she stays all green. Her illusion magic is easiest with one sense, but she can also fool taste, smell, and hearing. She can mess with touch, like heat and texture, however she can't make solid objects, so it's a bit of a null point. Outside of her grove, her powers are extremely weak, and she starts to die as she gets further away from her tree

Edit: Tiama recently soul-bound with a powerful dragon monster, giving her more freedom of movement and another power source. This comes at a cost, though, as they're emotionally linked now and that includes exhaustion.

Other: being a tree nymph, Tiama lives for a long, long time. Over the century she's lived in her grove, her magic has seeped into it, turning the entire place into essentially one giant magic battery. This makes her home great for injured monsters, as their magic recovers extremely fast.

Defensive: Her plant powers are her main defense in combat, but she tends to rely more on trickery. Making herself look terrifying, scaring people by making trees rustle, things like that. She can recover from wounds easily enough if they hit her projected form, however if her tree is wounded it takes much longer to heal. Fire is a definite weak point but because she lives in Waterfall it doesn't burn too long. Also a bit of a cold weakness but again she doesn't leave her area often at all, and it's not as severe as Corela.

Edit: gains a power boost in the sun, and also relies in trickery in terms of information. Will restrict powers to make other underestimate her.

Tools: Tiama refuses to let weapons of any kind into her grove, and this extends to herself.

Sayala

Offensive: great archery skills that she uses regularly for hunting food. Able to use physical or conjured arrows(again, think undynes spears), which means ammo isn't an issue unless she's doing something like flaming arrows. Rouge-like movements and tactics.

Defensive: great acrobatic skills, often hunts by jumping from tree to tree. Good stealth as well. Used to spying on guards so her hearing and sight are fine tuned to being aware of her surroundings. She also has thick fur which provides cold resistance, but she exhausts quickly in the warmth. If she lives in a temperate area for long she sheds her 'winter' coat.

Other: good with her hands and limited materials, she lives in the forest after all. The best character to have with you if you need to survive without magic

Tools: her bow and quiver, along with a simple knife.

Zora

Offensive: no offensive powers or magic, though her teeth are slightly sharper than normal and she has a human's resistance to attacks.

Defensive: when given a magic boost from an amulet or similar source she can create shields, but she hasn't trained them much since she's still a kid

Other: while definitely more trusting than her sister, Corela, Zora will still fight when nessecary and has bitten people on more than one occasion. Corela encourages this.

Tools: depends on the day but nothing is certain. She does have a ring that disguises her as a monster with a form similar to her sister's halfway form, based off of Tiama's magic. She uses this to avoid confrontation for being human.

Freya

Offensive: just a little bit of fire magic. She doesn't engage in combat often.

Defensive: her tough scales are more than enough for most attacks

Other: she's a potion master at heart, so she always has some kind of magic at her disposal, just not her own. She knows poisons and cures and mixes that will turn off senses at will, do not fuck with her.

Tools: an honestly unhealthy number of types of potions. You don't need that many poisons.

Tykee

Offensive: their magic has such a severe side effect that they don't use it often. Aside from their magic, Tykee also has retractable claws on their front paws and fangs, as well as a strong snake body they can use to trap opponents. Currently strength training their wings to use them as bludgeoning weapons.

Defensive: they can use their luck magic to escape really bad situations but it's a last ditch effort cause otherwise the side effects will weaken them severely. Otherwise, their scales aren't too weak, and their fur and feathers help with the cold for short periods of time.

Tools: they use throwing knives as their main weapon.

Kekoa

Offensive: just an entire bastard. Most of his strength comes from how much he traumatized Corela, and his scientific knowledge. He knows most common monster weak points, and is very analytical about situations. He used to have power over trees but ever since Corela turned him into an ash monster that's been pretty tricky.

Defensive: good luck hitting a sentient ash cloud. His one weakness is fire.

Other: honestly just fuck this guy
